Holt lost 69-50 to the # 3 team in the state Kalamzaoo Central in the regional semis. Central has a big who is going to Michigan. Faulds aquitted himself well with 19 pts and 13 rebounds. An article on the game also had the following:

Holt center and Columbia University signee Jaron Faulds led the Rams with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while junior Caleb Cooper added 12 points.

Holt graduates five seniors who led the Rams to their first regional semifinal appearance since 2014, including Faulds, who finished his four-year varsity career as the programs career leader in rebounds and blocks.

“He’s been the face of our program for the last couple years, and I don’t think kids that good are often as unselfish as he is,” Holt coach Matt Essell said. “This is the first year that he really demanded the ball, and all he cares about is winning and his teammates. He doesn’t want any of the limelight.”

The 6-foot-10 senior received a handful of full-ride scholarship offers to Mid-Major college basketball programs, and Essell said Big Ten offers were likely on the horizon, but Faulds elected to sign with Columbia during the summer after his junior year.

“There were some college coaches that were a little frustrated with him and asked why he was passing up a full-ride to play in the Ivy League, but he and his family had it figured out,” Essell said. “He’s going to be set up for life.

“One thing that other kids see is that you can be this big-time player, but also be a great leader and a really good kid. I think he’s hopefully the model for the new players that come through to not just be a great player, but to be a great student and be a great teammate and have everyone in the school love you.

“I think he’s really that kid.”
